Halo Reach, such a poor story. !!!!Spoilers!!!!.

I know nobody actually plays Halo for its storyline but this one had quite an original promise and I was looking forward to it, knowing that all the characters and the planet itself were doomed should have led to an interesting story of sacrifice and what not. Instead I found myself not caring about any of the characters and their deaths meant nothing. On the other hand if we look at games like RDR, GEOW2 and MGS, I found myself sad at some of the deaths of characters in these.

So yea I know FPS games rarely have good stories, but was anyone else expecting better from Reach?.

I agree, Halo Reach's story was very dissapointing to say the least.

halo reach was an excellent farewell to the series.

it emotionally drained me; especially the part when bungie gave their farewell address, nostalgia overwhelms.

i'm sure i wasn't the only one.

I agree that story wise it was a bit of a disapointment. It had potential to be alot better.

thats like trying to say Street Fighter has pathetic story also, Halo aint great for its story.

noble team doesnt show mch emotions cause there spartans, there suppose to brush of death and continue there mission

I hate the fact that in order for you to actually get the story you have to read the Books and get the limited edition of the game to get Dr. Halsey's Dairy.

But as for the Game, ODST had a better story.

Actually i sort of felt emotional when you had the objective "Survive" in your screen, that along with the really sad music playing made me feel weird...

yeah, the arrival of the covenant was pretty "underwhelming" to say the least

it was just like

"lol, covies"

"lol, shoot"

just like that, no big arrival or anything,

but the very last mission made me cry, not as much as big boss' death but pretty close when that writing comes up at your visor "Final Mission:Survive"

but you already know that 5 thousand+ covenant vs. 1 guy , he's not gunna make it :(

Man, people always complain about halo's story.

Halo CE: action takes too long to build up!

halo 2: Too complicated!

halo 3: too simple!

halo 3 ODST: too simple!

Halo reach: not complicated enough!

to be honest, while reach's story wasn't as impressive as the others, it still had its moments, such as Jorge's death, and the ending.

it was an absolutley terrible story considering NONE of them HAD to die.

It's not a very poor story. I thought it was decent, but was a littledisappointing. I thought Jorge's death wasa little sad and Kat's was a shock. Everyone else I didn't care really for, but Jun didn't die. It still had a great campaign.

all those seven samurai references gave me nerdgasm

of course they had to die:? otherwise how could master chief be the last spartan?:?

this is halo we are talking about heck disney channel has better stories over the halo gameselbert_b_23

As a war story I thought it was very good. The battles were detailed really well, and the cohesiveness of the environments was great, but Bungie's attempts to make good characters really failed.

The game's story had a lot of potential, but the fact is that the campaign was too short for the player to really care about the characters. I'm making my second play through currently and I'm actually finding each character's death more emotional the second time around because I've actually had enough time to get exposed to them. However, the Kat's death was definately a blunder, it felt like Bungie had no idea how to kill her properly. Carter and Jun weren't fleshed out enough either.

He's not the last last, there's still about 5 others.

It was bad considering they could have done so much more. But what can you expect its a Halo game. I did go in to the game expecting a great story in the game for some reason, but none the less the game was great, and the MP was even better.

Don't forget the Spartan 2s left MIA in the Spirit of fire and the other Spartan 3's and 2's in the Micro Dyson Sphere of Onyx.

Its quite strange that there're so many Spartans still aliveyet people still call the MC "the last Spatan" which is pretty silly.

Its reminded me a lot of GeoW2 with the Maria scene. It tries to be emotional but it fails.

Its quite strange how many Spartans are still alive yet people still call the MC "the last Spatan" which is pretty silly.
